What are the advantages of using a HomeRF wireless network rather than WiFi based, 802.11b?
For users with certain requirements, the advantages of HomeRF over 802.11b are its built-in support for high quality, low cost voice, its support for QoS, its robustness in the face of 2.4 GHz interference, and its inherent security. This question has already been answered, to some extent, in questions 1 and 3 above. It is, first of all, important to note that the advantages of a HomeRF network attach to where, and by whom, the network is used. HomeRF is more appropriate than 802.11b in certain situations. When the user of the network will demand multimedia services, especially voice services, HomeRF is more appropriate, with its DECT-based voice support and its QoS service support. When the network will be located in an uncontrolled spectrum environment, subject to interference from microwave ovens, cordless phones, other wireless LANs, and other 2.4 GHz transmitters, HomeRF is more appropriate with its robust interference immunity and interference avoidance techniques. And, finally,
